I'm not from the US either, but I have heard of Project 2025. If Republicans actually implement what's in it, whatever checks and balances were left will go right out the window.
Damn, that was something I had wanted to do actually, but I definitely can't right now. Should've done it earlier.
Maybe those interests that want to ship via Churchill will be turned down again? Even Heather Stephenson declined to ship AB oil via Churchill a couple of years ago (despite putting some funding into the rail line even), and Wab Kinew would hopefully be less amenable to it than she would.
It's unequal in that they're already more likely to prosecute minorities. Somehow I doubt prosecution of more white people would have changed this judge's mind.
It's actually precisely so they don't have to solve those problems. Most politicians don't campaign on accomplishments alone. Increasingly, they campaign on empty promises and real threats.
"Cool" is from before the time of probably any of us on here-- the 1930s! It's possible its usage might have slightly shifted over time (?) but that one just doesn't go away.
Meanwhile expressions like "radical," "bad," "on fleek" (ugh) didn't last long.
Neat! Am I correct to interpret these prints as being left by an animal that was either running in quick gallops or doing short hops? They seem to be clumped in discrete groups instead of a trail.
CN says recent regulatory changes have made it harder to find crews and necessitated a "modernization of the compensation model."
CPKC says it has been negotiating in good faith since September and offered compensation boosts and more schedule predictability, but that the railway and the union "remain far apart on the issues."
Any industry people around to confirm if these claims are as BS as they sound? CN taking breaks away is self-explanatory I guess, but I get the feeling CPKC's "predictability" of shift scheduling with "compensation boosts" means more hours and/or regular overtime. Obviously they could hire more people if the job was made more attractive, but I highly doubt they want more people. I expect they just want to squeeze more out of fewer people, as usual.
Weird story. I'm not sure what we get out of this as citizens though, especially without context. Was the kid suffering delusions? Did he have a past history of violence towards others? Did he think it would be fun to pretend to open the door as a joke? What are we supposed to be learning here? How does this apply to our lives?
If they were just verbally protesting their presence and not committing assaulting I'd understand as there are legit reasons for Jewish people not to like Christian Zionism.... but the Israeli state finds them politically convenient I guess, so of course they let it fly. 🙄
To be fair, the pope condemned Israel's actions in Gaza as well. Fundamentalist evangelical Christian Zionists have more financial and media power than others though, I imagine, and many others are just plain silent.
This is a step towards humanizing workers, legitimizing their concerns, and building solidarity so people are closer to being on the same page and might maybe agree that something needs to be done. Probably not from this cultural moment, but if enough of them like this happen in succession and get enough attention, then something could change. If you want to discuss parallel economies and mutual aid networks, that's a whole other discussion.
Oh that's right, Chernobyl! There were staggered end dates to the sale of leaded gas though, so the years will vary more or less by continent. Nevertheless, your point remains valid even if the lead pollution was at its peak in the 1970s.
I've also been concerned about negative outcomes for people based on the videos I've heard about and the one I saw posted before, but that's what makes them so brave. The more they do it and the more such videos are normalized, the less harsh companies can be in retaliation.
Management being assholes is not as much a generational thing (at least, not as much as it seems) as the nature of what corporations expect of managers. The few amazing managers who somehow remain human while doing their job, who are good mentors, etc., are outliers.
I knew about the lead for Gen X. Are you talking about both Millennials and Gen Z not having been poisoned in their developmental years or are you referring to Boomers (and older), some of whom were irradiated and/or got hit by smog, etc. It sounds like you're saying something also happened to Millennials otherwise, and I never heard about this.
Yikes, that's disappointing. If the tracks are beat up by freight trains though, doesn't that also affect the luxury riders / tourists? I guess there must be soundproofing for them?
Trains I was on in other countries (crowded or not, higher price tiers and lower) were always smooth and quiet rides at the least. Also, I only saw crowded trains a few times, so in most cases they were quite comfy as well.
...or just abolish the stock market (at least that's how I read this).
